You guys are brainwashed.

You're an idiot.

“Free trade” is a massive, America-damaging failure.

Yea, that whole economic freedom thingy is just sooooo out of date. What do you want to control next?

put America first.put America first.

I'll put freedom and liberty and the Constitution first, thank you very much.

You keep the ‘freedom’ to fire Americans, offshore their jobs, and destroy our economy.

I’ll keep America.

Always.

Yea, that tariff thing was such an imposition - I guess that’s why the Founding Fathers put it into the Constitution in Article I, Section 8. So if you truly put the Constitution first, then you’d adhere to the intent of the Founding Fathers to levy tariffs, rather than give power over our trade to an extra-constitutional, extra-national organization that isn’t elected, is accountable to no one and creates rules without any input from citizens affected by their policies, right?

Tariffs were a cornerstone of what was known as the “American School of Economics,” put into place by Alexander Hamilton.

It served us rather well through 1932, and parts of it through the late 60’s. Might want to check that out, because the last decade’s results for wage growth in the era of “free trade” don’t compare well to the results of wage growth of the era with tariffs in the US trade policy.

And, pray, tell... since when has giving such huge economic advantage to communists been considered “freedom?” Since when has doing anything to communists aside from killing them been associated with “freedom?”
